After washing his hands he felt so completely free, so light and happy.
He ran over to the hospital, feeling happier than in a while. The rest day he worked harder than ever before, helping with as much he could, Dave had just figured out why Carter's and Kovac's lives were so much better than his. They were thin, he was fat.
Days went on, but now he didn't feel happy after throwing up, Instead he felt guilty for eating in the first place. He found it harder to concentrate on what people told him and he felt dizzy when he walked around.
He stood by the counter staring at a chart, trying to concentrate on the jumping letters.
"Dave?"
"What?" He jumped a little, he turned and saw Jing-Mei staring at him
"Do you want to grab some lunch with me?"
"Sorry, I just ate."
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine, why do you ask?"
"You look a little tired?"
"Well, it's 5 a.m. so that's not so weird is it?" He snapped
"Sorry for asking" Jing-Mei walked out of the hospital. After that they didn't speak much together, he didn't speak to many others either. He didn't annoy Weaver or didn't make piggish remarks to the female nurses.
Dave walked into the personnel bathroom to wash of the blood from the trauma, he was more dizzy than ever before. When he pulled of the scrub top, he looked at himself, he was so incredibly fat, ugly and resenting. The room started spinning, faster and faster, he grabbed the sink as to get support.
At that moment Kovac came in, he looked at Dave, man! He was thin, thinner than was healthy. He could see his ribs trough the skin.
"Dave, are you okay?"
"Yeah, just a little dizzy" He said trying to get on his scrub top again, to hide his body. Kovac looked at the young man again, he seemed to be Anorectic, but Dave? That didn't seem like him. He shook his head and walked out of the room.
"Dr. Weaver can I talk with you for a moment?"
"Something wrong Dr. Kovac?"
"I don't know, can we talk somewhere in private?" She followed him wondering what he was going to say.
"Ok, what is it?"
"It's Dave, I think he is anorectic or bulimic" He had decided to say it at once.
"Why do you think that?" She asked, she had noticed that Dave had been different the last days.
"Well, I came into the bathroom, and he had taken his shirt off, he was thin, too thin. I haven't seen him eating the last days either, and he told me he was dizzy.
"In the first place I think we just have to hold our eyes open, we cant do anything before we are have any evidence."
"Yes, I just wanted to tell you"
"I appreciate that Dr. Kovac"
Dave walked over to the admin. desk to put away a chart. He saw Chuny, Lydia and Haleh standing there gossiping. He smiled to them and just the chart to its right place. Haleh started wondering what was wrong with that man, he hadn't come up with a piggish remark or a joke in the last few weeks, but she just shrugged it off. It was probably nothing, he had surely just grown up.
He sat down on a chair since there wasn't any patients left. Jing Mei and Carter walked over to him.
"Hey Dave, want to join us over to Doc Magoos?"
"Nah, I'm not hungry"
"Just join us for the company then?" Jing Mei asked
"Yeah, okay" He stood up slowly and felt the usual dizziness coming over him. Jing Mei looked at him for a moment, he seemed to be so thin, but It was probably just her imagination. They walked over to Doc Magoos and sat down.
"What can I get you?" The waiter asked
"A cheese burger with fries and a coffee"
"The same for me" Jing Mei added
"And what about you?"
"Nothing" Dave answered.
"Come on Dave, eat something, my treat" Carter said. Jing Mei looked at
Dave wondering.
"Okay, a blueberry pie thanks, and coffee, black as possible"
When the food came Dave just show the slice around on his plate. Suddenly he noticed Carter and Jing Mei staring at him, and he decided that he should probably eat a little.
It wasn't hard to get out again so, he started eating and talking
After the lunch, he excused himself and walked to the bathroom. Inside a cubicle he knelt down and stuck his fingers down his throat, as he used to.
Carter opened the door to the bathroom and heard someone gagging.
He saw Dave sitting on the floor and he understood that something was wrong, very wrong. He silently closed the door behind himself and walked back to Jing Mei.
"John what's wrong?" She asked when she saw the grimace on his face.
"Come, I have to talk to you" He said. She understood that it was serious so she just followed him, on their way back he told what he had heard and seen.
Dave looked at the brownish stuff down in the toilette, and to his fear he saw that it was blood among the brown. Soon it came more and more blood, and he understood something was very wrong, and he should get to the hospital. He closed his mouth and felt the bitter taste of blood. He ran quickly out of the restaurant and towards the hospital. Something was wrong, very wrong.
He ran inside the ER, but by he was so dizzy that he just fell down. The nurses didn't see anything special so they just laughed a little, the laughter stopped quickly when they saw blood coming out of Dave's mouth.
"Oh, my good Dave!!" Weaver ran over to him, together with Haleh, Abby and Luka.
"Get him up on a gurney!" She yelled "Did anyone see what happened?"
"No he just came inn running and then he fell." Haleh said they wheeled him into the trauma room and got him onto the bed.
"It seems like a vein have ruptured in his throat" Luka said examining Dave.
"His blood pressure is dropping" Haleh informed.
Dave opened his eyes slowly, and looked around, the hospital? How the hell had he landed here?
"Dave?" He heard a voice saying, he looked around and saw Weaver sitting on a chair next to him.
"You gave us quite a scare"
"What happened?"
"A vein in your throat was torn, and you are dehydrated and you have a lack of vitamins"
"Wonder how that happened" He said trying to pretend he didn't know anything.
"Dave, I think you have Anorexia, or Bulimia. We want to do anything we can, to help you, but you have to do get control over this."
"I'm not Bulimic, or anorectic!" He almost yelled.
"I know a clinic were you can get help"
"I DON'T HAVE A EATING DISORDER!" He yelled, but he felt his throath getting sore, so he tried to calm down a little. "I don't have a eating disorder" He repeated.
"Then it is okay for you to get weighted?" Weaver said
"So you can make fun of me for being fat?!"
"No, just to see how much you really weights" Dave understood that he was defeated and sat up on the bed, feeling dizzy and grabbed the ledge off the bed.
"Are you okay?" Weaver repeated.
"Just a little dizzy from getting up too fast"
Weaver helped him onto the weight and they both waited for the result.
"See Dave, that's far to little for a man your age"
"You have fixed it up or something!"
"No, I have not. So do you want to go to this clinic?"
"What are you going to tell the others?"
"I can tell them that you are on a vacation."
"No, tell them the truth"
After a day Dave packed his bags, and left for one of his hardest summers ever.
